Global Recordings Network Australia (GRN) is an interdenominational, evangelical, faith-based Christian mission based in Prospect, NSW. Our aim is to effectively communicate the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ to oral communicators and unreached peoples in their own language by means of audio and audio/visual recordings.
Our recordists work in partnership with local churches or mission agencies, both here in Australia and overseas, to translate and produce audio recordings of short Bible stories and simple Bible teaching for use in evangelism and discipleship. We use local voices and culturally appropriate music to communicate the gospel to people who don't have access to the scriptures in their own language.
All GRN staff are required to accept and sign the GRN statement of faith.
About the role:
GRN Australia is committed to training the next generation of field recordists, to equip them with the technical skills and cross cultural knowledge required for the role. Therefore, we have developed the 12 month Trainee Recordist program to provide a Bible college graduate the opportunity to begin their mission journey as a GRN recordist. This is a unique opportunity to get field recording experience and to obtain a recognised qualification in Sound Production through TAFE NSW.
The Trainee Recordist will primarily be based in the studio at our Prospect office where they will learn from experienced recordists about GRN specific recording/processing procedures. This will include operation of our field recorders, editing recordings and producing a master. The trainee will also be trained in the day to day workings of the studio which include preservation and restoration of our audio archive. Furthermore, two days a week will be spent at TAFE completing a Certificate III in Music Industry (Sound Production) where the trainee will get hands on practical teaching from industry professionals.
In addition the trainee will experience a field recording trip during semester break where they will create their first GRN audio recording. Once edited and programmed this recording will be distributed online via the GRN website and 5fish app.
At the end of the year the trainee would have the opportunity to apply for membership of GRN. Once accepted they would go on to do further training in areas of linguistics and cross-cultural communication before being deployed overseas or locally under the supervision of an experienced recordist. GRN operates in over 30 countries around the world with opportunities to serve in Europe, Africa, Asia, the Pacific and in indigenous communities within Australia.
